🐾 How knowledge learned at Jersey Zoo is helping wild Lesser Antillean iguanas 🌿 🦎 Our Curator of Herpetology & Invertebrates Matt uses what he has learned from caring for Critically Endangered Lesser Antillean iguanas at Jersey Zoo to advise partners on biosecurity, disease and husbandry to help the species in the wild. 💚 Have you seen the Lesser Antillean iguanas in Jersey Zoo's Reptile and Amphibian House?
